Now don't start all that fillysofikal stuff round 'ere - you'll have the
natives baying for blood.

If you haven't stated that you consider Norway and the USA to be
separate, it's perfectly possible. If I swam from the Isle of Wight to
Southampton in England, it'd still be a swim from the UK to the UK. By
analogy, swimming from a town called Norway (in the USA) to another part
of the USA could be described as swimming from Norway to the USA. Clumsy
usage, perhaps, but not inaccurate.

IMHO Opera Ver 754u2 was better than Firefox, but Opera Ver 8.0 Build
7561 hasn't been better for me because it keeps crashing when visiting
my regular web pages. Opera has been my default browser since Ver 5.12
but is now no longer my default browser.

does Opera cost?

I must have a free version (haven't used it in a few months, since latest
firefox came out)
